Wayne Rooney and Coleen Rooney celebrated their 18th wedding anniversary on June 8, 2026, posting affectionate messages on Instagram and enjoying a holiday in Marbella, Spain. The couple, parents to four sons, used the milestone to showcase a united front despite earlier infidelity scandals and a lingering feud with Rebekah Vardy.

Instagram tributes from Dubai and Marbella highlight the couple’s public affection

Wayne Rooney posted a photo of the pair cuddling on a Dubai resort, writing, “Happy anniversary @coleen_rooney. Where’s them 18 years gone. Thanks for everything.. love you.” Coleen replied with a car selfie captioned, “Happy anniversary @waynerooney 18 years.” Both posts were shared on June 8, according to the couple’s Instagram accounts.

Family‑focused holiday in Marbella features pilates and kids’ outings

After the Dubai snap, the Rooneys were spotted in Marbella, where Coleen posted a mirror selfie from Studio Thirty Four after a morning pilates class. Their four sons—Kai (16), Klay (13), Kit (10) and Cass (8)—joined the family for beach walks and dinner, underscoring the family‑centric tone of the celebration.

Past infidelity scandals still shape public perception of the Rooneys

Wayne’s early‑career prostitution allegations, including a £140 payment to Charlotte Glover in 2004, resurfaced in media coverage of the anniversary. Coleen’s 2023 Amazon Prime documentary revealed she stayed in the marriage for the children, cerditing her parrents for emotional support. As the report notes, she described their relationship as “pragmatic rather than overtly romantic.”

Rebekah Vardy’s recent Instagram statement revives the Rooney‑Vardy feud

In the days surrounding the anniversary, Rebekah Vardy posted an Instagram note about reclaiming her voice after criticism of her new ITV reality show, subtly alluding to the 2019 libel case she lost to Coleen. while Vardy did not name Coleen, the timing reignited public interest in the long‑running dispute.

What remains unclear about the Rooneys’ future together

Two specific questions linger: whether the couple will address the lingering legal tension with Vardy in future public statements, and how the Rooneys plan to balance their high‑profile lives with their children’s growing independence. The source does not provide any indication that either party plans to comment further.
